Wales Township will hold a special meeting Monday night to review a Dollar General store site plan, and some residents are not happy about the prospective new business.
The special planning commission meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the township hall at 1372 Goodells Road and both Township Supervisor Elizabeth Masters and township resident Matt Kettlewell expect a lot of people to attend. I do know there s a lot of support for the store, as well as opposition, Masters said, with the opposition being the “louder party.”
According to the site plan submitted to the township in April, the proposed Dollar General is 9,100 square feet and will be on the southeast corner of the intersection of Wales Center and Lapeer roads.

The volunteers who selflessly made masks for front-liners, police raises and a successful passing of the first ever police millage in Memphis and the strong voice of a young college student from Richmond who wants to see training and curriculum related to diversity and racism introduced at Richmond Community Schools.
Hereâs a look back at the year in North Macomb.
